Orkun (Thank You)

[Verse 1]
Every sunrise on the Mekong shore
Every smile behind an open door
You showed me kindness I had never known
In Srokh Khmer I found a second home

[Pre-Chorus]
From the temples standing proud and tall
To the gentle hands that welcome all

[Chorus]
Orkun, orkun, my heart overflows
Orkun, orkun, for all that you chose
To share with a wanderer passing through
Cambodia, orkun — I carry you

[Verse 2]
Golden spires against the morning haze
Laughter ringing through the market maze
A stranger offered me a place to stay
And turned an ordinary into an extraordinary day

[Pre-Chorus]
From the rice fields stretching emerald wide
To the river boats on the evening tide

[Chorus]
Orkun, orkun, my heart overflows
Orkun, orkun, for all that you chose
To share with a wanderer passing through
Cambodia, orkun — I carry you

[Bridge]
I may not speak the words you say
But gratitude needs no translation anyway
Sampeah, a bow, a knowing glance
This bond was never left to chance

[Final Chorus]
Orkun, orkun, forever I will know
The warmth you gave me, the seeds you helped me grow
Wherever life may carry me from here
Cambodia, orkun — you are always near
